TIP - How to Have Quiet Kids at the Grocery Store
Okay, the other day, I took my seven year old and 2 year old to the grocery store. As you know, these trips could turn out to be very stressful.
My latest try seem to be working so I pass on to you:
Lollipops - I gave each of them a long-lasting lollipop that they both LOVE and don't get often. I kept my eye on the lollipops and ended the shopping trip when it looked like the lollipops were licked down to the stick. I checked out, they were done with their lollipops, and I just wiped up their mouths with some wet wipes before getting into the car. It was a great trip!
So far, I tried it twice and it worked like a charm. Hope it works for you!

What better way to keep the kids quiet than to have lollipops in their mouths!!! : )
Gotta love a bribe. Good for you. I'm a mother of two, as well, as is my sister, whose words of non-judgmental wisdom often cross my mind when I pull a lollipop-esque trick myself:
"I did my 'best' parenting before I had kids," she says.
I know I had the whole soft-focus thing down pat before the young-ins actually arrived on the scene.
Nice to come across you. Feel free to check my site for kids out anytime:

Elizabeth, cool website you have there! I agree with your sister - I think I did my best parenting before I had kids too!
Taylor, "sanity" is a relative term....
ML, it also helps from asking or reaching for candy at the store.
Love your website. As a mom of three little ones, I definitely appreciate this lollipop in the grocery store tip.
